Environmental legislation consists of 4 parts. We will review the main environmental laws in 2025 and get acquainted with their main features.
What are the parts of environmental legislation?
The first part is a general statement covering the entire environment. The second part presents natural complexes for individual spheres – water, land and others. The third part is represented by natural resource objects. The last part describes the field of waste management.
Legislation in the field of ecology resolves issues of environmental protection, standards for the protection of nature, supervision of the exploitation of natural resources, and others.
Basic laws in the ecology of the Russian Federation: list and description
The list of environmental laws can be divided into several areas:
- Environment.
- Natural resource legislation.
- Natural complexes.
The laws describe the norms of state policy in the field of environmental protection, as well as ensuring safety in this area. You can read about how to safely recycle, store and store waste in the law on industrial waste. In addition, the law on the safe handling of pesticides can be noted. It specifies the conditions for the proper handling of agro-industrial chemicals.
If we consider natural resource legislation, we can mention a number of basic laws. Thus, the Land Code of the Russian Federation deals with issues of accounting and protection of land, protection of public health, etc. The Water Code specifies the norms that regulate the use of protected facilities. The Law on Land Reclamation considers issues and requirements for entities in the field of irrigation of land.
It is worth noting that environmental legislation is based on the norms of constitutional law. It is based on both federal-level laws and those adopted by individual Russian entities. Compliance with all laws is monitored by government oversight bodies. Internal and external supervision is used for this purpose.
